Least favourite cities: Detroit, because everything about it is a wreck, Chemnitz in East Germany, which has the distinction of being the ugliest city I’ve ever seen, Liege in Belgium whose street signs seem to be specifically designed to confuse the traveler (every time I’ve driven through Liege, I’ve gotten lost), Bielefeld in Germany, because every German person agrees that Bielefeld is the most awful city in the world, and – though it barely qualifies as a city – Cuxhaven-Duhnen, a North German seaside resort so dull that it makes zombies look lively.
